Sokkia's Digital Theodolites allow you to survey with ease using the absolute encoder’s new algorithm that operates with remarkably reduced power consumption. When the instrument is restarted, the azimuth is automatically restored to save time on the job site. A large LCD screen provides clear angle reading under all conditions, and thanks to simple 4-key operation, no training is required

Variety of display modesYou can select the angle display unit that best suits you. Horizontal angle is switchable between clockwise and counterclockwise, and angle hold and 0-set functions are also provided. Vertical angle can be set to Zenith=0, Horizontal=0, Horizontal=0+/-, or % of slope.

Ultra-long working hoursWith Sokkia's new algorithm in operating absolute encoders, power consumption has been dramatically reduced. Powered by 2 standard LR14/C alkaline batteries, the DT240 will operate for 75 hours.

One-key StartYou can start taking measurements as soon as you turn on the power, thanks to the absolute encoders. Moreover, azimuth is kept when restarting the instrument after turning off the power.

Easy-to-read, easy-to-use control panelsA large LCD screen provides clear angle readings under all conditions, and thanks to simple 4-key operation no training is required. The DT240 has control panels on both faces for added convenience.

Dual-axis compensatorThe DT240 automatically compensates both vertical and horizontal angles by monitoring the tilt of the instrument in X & Y two directions.

Audible right-angle notificationOnce the zero (0) horizontal angle direction is determined, all models emit audible tones for each of the four right-angle directions. Specifically, it sounds two different tones within +/-15 degrees of 90 degrees and stops beeping when it comes within +/-1 degree.

Superior IP66 protectionComplying with the tough IP66 standard for resistance to dust and water, both models offer superior dependability even under harsh environmental conditions.
